POULTRY FARM WASTE DISPOSAL
MANAGEMENT
Types of poultry waste
1. Poultry manure
2. Dead bird
1. POULTRY MANURE
Two main types of waste are produced by poultry enterprises depending on the rearing
system adopted on the farm
• Poultry litter – Waste from deep litter systems
• Cage layer waste – Excreta collected under the cages, spilled feed and feathers.
Poultry manure contains
a. Drying
• Oldest, cheapest and feasible method
• Dried under sunlight and depends on lengths of time, climate and humidity.
• Drying the manure with heat results in loss of energy and nitrogen.
• Thin bed drying prevents the breeding of flies, reduces obnoxious odours and
maintains the nutrient value of the manure particles.
• The faster the manure is dried, the higher is the nitrogen value.
b. Composting
• Can be stored for long time
• Aerobic bacterial action occurs
• The top foot is composed of fresh manure, the bottom foot is in an anaerobic condition
and the central portion is undergoing composting.
• The essential requirement in managing the deep pit is that the fresh, wet material be
adequately aerated to remove the moisture.
• To further the composting process and to prevent odors the pit must be watertight so
that seepage water cannot enter.
• Little or no odor arising from the pits and manure removal may be delayed for years.
2. DEAD BIRD DISPOSAL
a. Burying
• Disposal of birds for small farms that cannot construct an incinerator.
• Deep hole may be dug and carcasses buried deeply to prevent worms from carrying
infections from the carcass to the surface of the ground
• Deep narrow trench can also be used
b. Pit disposal
• Effective and convenient method for disposal of dead birds.
• 150 feet from the poultry houses and water supply
• Flies and insects should not enter the pit
• The pit should be covered with tar paper or plastic
• The pit should be near the post mortem room
• Practical size for pit is about 1.8 m square by 2.4 m deep with drop tube
• Tight fitting lid on the upper end of the tube to prevent the escape of foul odors and the
entrance of flies.
Indicative Development and Management Plan
Introduction.
Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments of livestock’s and contributes major
share in the market. Poultry egg and meat are important source of high-quality protein,
minerals and vitamins to balance human diet. One product produced by poultry raising are
eggs. Bantayan Island is one of major area that produces large supply of eggs in the country and
consider are the “egg basket” of the Visayas and Mindanao. The development of the poultry
project will surely contribute to the increase of chicken egg production for the next years of
operation.
Chicken egg production in the Philippines is a minor industry compared to the broiler
production sector that takes center stage in the Philippines chicken trade. But the chicken layer
sector had the most growth between 2001 and 2002 because of the increase of chicken layers
in the country. In 2002 alone, chicken egg production contributed 3% of the total value of
agriculture in the Philippines.
Chicken for egg production is becoming a major industry in the Philippines as the
